Sprint and Peachtree Corners Create Smart City Transportation Lab

Sprint and Peachtree Corners are
partnering to build an intelligent vehicle test track, which will
feature Sprint’s low-latency 5G technology combined with Curiosity
IoT and micro-positioning.

“CuriosityTM Lab at Peachtree
Corners,” a real-world laboratory, will consist of a 1.5-mile test
track constructed within the 500-acre Technology Park.

Launching in the spring, the track will
be used to develop and test self-driving shuttles as well as act as a
test bed for advanced vehicles and IoT services.

Peachtree Corners and Sprint will
create a state-of-art living transportation laboratory that will
allow new intelligent mobility technologies to be tested and
evaluated in real-world driving conditions.

In the coming months, work will begin
to re-configure Technology Parkway, which runs from Spalding Drive to
Peachtree Parkway into four lanes – two outer lanes for the AV test
track and the inner two lanes for automobiles. The test track will be
separated from the road used by vehicles by bollards and signage.
